Christine Phillips Poet Dramatic Verse

The truth in me

I raised my hands to the sea, 
to see how far the waves would carry me
they were coming in swiftly 
 and moving from shore to shore
but my heart was yearning for more
the road ahead is long
and all I want is to compose my own song
and the sea is the place I would rather be
to see the earth meet with the sun before the day is done.
Follow me to the sea and set a table for you and me	
Listen to the roaring waves singing their own praise
 take a walk with me along the shore
and observe what is transpiring behind the doors
Immerse yourself in nature
  and if you are not comfortable,
 just call the doctor.
soak yourself in the saltwater
and take me back to where it all begun.
Daybreak with earthly shadows coverings my face 
And I knew that I had to confront reality that is staring at me
and everything that was coming out of the sea was a part of me
and in one split second I knew that it was done
for the truth in me is no fun.
